Oslo, Norway, a global city.

As the economic and political center of Norway, the city is the hub of trade, banking, industry and shipping throughout Norway, as well as an important center for maritime and maritime trade in Europe.

On June 2, the 2006 IAAF Golden League kicked off in Oslo, the first tournament of the year and attracting dozens of Olympic and World champions looking to share in the million-dollar grand prize.

In Bicester Stadium, when Suzu appeared on the field, it still attracted the attention of the audience and the media.

As the double champion of the men's 100m and 200m at the 2005 World Championships, the current world men's 100m record holder, there have been many media reports on his whereabouts since the day he arrived in Oslo.

Bicester Stadium is Norway's most famous international sports arena, the original stadium was demolished in 2004 and a new stadium was built by the summer of 2005. The new venue meets the international requirements for athletics and has received IAAF Class 1 certification, which is only available in a handful of stadiums in Northern Europe.

The competition of the IAAF Golden League Oslo Station is called the Bicester International Athletics Games. Since 1965, the Bicester Stadium has been home to this international competition, which was later included in the IAAF Golden League.

The competition is sponsored by ExxonMobil and is officially known as the ExxonMobil Bicester Games.

"Congratulations, Sue, you're one Olympic champion away from now!"

In the check-in area, Sean Crawford, who has not seen Su Zu for a long time, is congratulating Su Zu, the two have known each other since the Indoor World Championships, and have encountered and missed various competitions since then, and the relationship has been very good.

"Thanks, Sean!" Su Zu smiled, then hesitated slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Has the recent incident affected you?" ”

Sean Crawford shook his head, "No, I passed the test. I'm now preparing to terminate Trevor's contract, and he's already being targeted by the Athletics Federation and the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency."

Trevor Graham, Justin Gatlin's track and field coach, is also one of the most famous track and field coaches in world athletics today, and Sean Crawford also trains under the coaching of the opposing team.

"That's good!" Suzu patted Sean Crawford's broad shoulder, "It's been a long time since we've played together. ”

"It's been a long time, when was the last time it was in Helsinki?" Sean Crawford thumped Suzu's chest and grinned a mouthful of white teeth, "Hey, boy, are you challenging me?" ”

"Then are you going to fight?" Su Zu replied with a smile.

"Who can outrun you?" Sean Crawford shrugged his shoulders, "Gatlin is suspended, and now it's just that Jamaican." ”

Sean Crawford said, his eyes motioning to Asafa Powell, who was warming up, "You have to defend your world record!" ”

Su Zu glanced at Asafa Powell, who was warming up at the start on the track, the other party's starting posture was indeed impeccable and perfect, just a start to accelerate, so that Su Zu could see that Powell should be in good shape.

"Asafa looks pretty good." Su Zu's face was slightly solemn.

Asafa Powell missed the World Championships last year due to injury, and that injury was said to be quite serious, and he did not return until March this year.

Although the results passed from several games are not particularly good, you can see that the opponent is returning to the top one by one.

"Sue, are you feeling stressed?" Seeing the change in Su Zu's face, Sean Crawford asked out loud.

Su Zu nodded, and a string in his heart gradually tightened.

You want to win all the games, but every game will not be easy.

In addition to Shaun Crawford and Asafa Powell, there are also another Jamaican sprinter, Michael Rattle, who broke Frank Fredericks' previous African record with Suzu in Doha in May, Mark Burns of Trinidad and Tobago, Aziz Zachary of Ghana, and Kim Collins of St. Kitts and Nevis.

Of course, among these players, only Asafa Powell is really valued by Su Zu, and Asafa Powell's eyes have also swept over Su Zu several times in the check-in area, and the two have no friendship, except for occasional eye contact, they basically do not talk.

This is a war between the current world record holder and the former world record holder, and as Shaun Crawford said, his opponent is now mainly Asafa Powell.

And Asafa Powell is well aware of this, and has not slackened since entering the arena to warm up and prepare.

The men's 100m world record holder is a great temptation for all 100m athletes, and the only ones who can really do it are Suzu and Asafa Powell.

At 15:25 in the afternoon, as a staff member of the organizer entered the check-in area to inform the players to prepare for admission, the men's 100-meter competition of the Golden League officially kicked off.

In the Bicester Stadium, the atmosphere at this time was already very enthusiastic.

Norwegian men's javelin thrower Solkidsson won the javelin just half an hour ago, becoming the pride of the Golden League hosts, winning the cheers of tens of thousands of spectators.

And when the men's 100-meter trapeze battle started again, the atmosphere of the scene reached a climax.

Many spectators bought tickets to watch the race for the men's 100m.

Suzu and Powell faced each other head-to-head for the first time in a major event, and the current world record holder vs. the former world record holder was a match, the gimmick, the weight, all enough.

Like the Doha Grand Prix, the tournament was already spread through various media some time before the start of the race.

Suzu has not made many appearances at the European Grand Prix and Golden League, but last year's double men's 100m and 200m titles at the World Championships in Helsinki have made many people familiar with him.

Especially in this Golden League matchup, the organizers and local media have once again popularized science in the report, the current men's 100m world record holder, and various competition materials of young people from Eastern China.

Su Zu just stood on the runway, and when he introduced him on the live broadcast, he raised his hands and waved his hands, which caused a lot of applause.

That's what the best in the world treats, as long as he's on the field, on the track, he's going to be the one who attracts the most attention.

"Director Li, what do you think of Powell's condition?"

On the sidelines of the field, Zhang Pingqiu looked at the athletes before and after, and Su Zu's complexion was particularly eye-catching among the black athletes.

"It's hard to say." Li Zhizhong shook his head slightly, "There should be no problem with Powell's state." However, it was his first time running with Su Zu, and I wasn't sure what kind of results he would perform. Athletes like Powell tend to be at their best when no one is putting him under pressure. ”

"You mean Su Zu can win him?"

"Hey, Su Zu's recent training is not very systematic, and I can't hold it, if I have ten days and half a month to train well to recover from my condition, there should be no problem."

Li Zhizhong estimated for a while, he was very clear about Su Zu's state, Su Zu's biggest weapon is stability, after reaching a certain level, he can basically stabilize and rarely fall.

However, when athletes compete at such a high level, it will be difficult to perform at their best if they are not committed enough when preparing for the competition.

Zhang Pingqiu hissed lightly, "Just don't be broken by Powell!" ”

Li Zhizhong looked at the arena, his hands grasping the hem of his sportswear, and he was also a little nervous. Not only did he want the record not to be broken, but he also hoped that Su Zu could win.

But the situation in athletics is always changing, and no one can be sure that the athlete will suddenly explode or wilt.

"There's still a chance, there's still a chance." Li Zhizhong said silently in his mouth.

As long as this Golden League can be stabilized, the next games will be much easier to say. The next Golden League will be held in Paris on July 8, and it will be a month away.

In this month's time, Li Zhizhong has already planned the training arrangement, and with this month's preparation time, he believes that Su Zu will definitely be able to adjust to the best condition.

Suzu wore a light blue sprint jersey in this match, and the Golden League is aimed at individual bonuses and points, and all athletes did not wear national team uniforms.

Standing in the middle of the fourth track, Su Zu glanced around the arena, and his attention gradually focused on the arena.

This was his second race of 2006, and after the Doha Super Prix, he had been away from the field and the track for a while, and with the noisy shouts and the sound of various cheering sticks, Su Zu seemed to feel a long-lost feeling in his heart.

The battlefield of an athlete is always on the field, surpassing all opponents and winning, and that's what I'm going to do!

He knew he wasn't in the best shape for the game, and one of the reasons was that there were fewer games after a long preparation period. The other is after the Doha Super Prix, in the past 20 days, there has been basically no systematic training, only occasionally taking time to run on his own and do some muscle strength exercises.

The advantage of digitizing physical attributes is that he can maintain his condition, and Su Zu believes that he has no problem running into 10 seconds, and even 9 seconds and 90 seconds should be fine. But if you want to reach your personal best, within 9.80 seconds, 9.75 seconds world record level, this is not necessarily the case. It can be said that it is very difficult.

After all, at this time, a little laxity in his mentality may affect his results.

At this time, Powell, who was narrated by Su Zu, also expanded his chest slightly, making final preparations with an expressionless face.

It's the Golden League, it's not the Olympics or the World Championships, and he doesn't feel any baggage.

But in the face of Su Zu, he still had a very high vigilance in his heart.

Since the start of the 2006 season, Powell has been regaining his competitive form, from the Commonwealth Games in March to the Jamaica Invitational in May, where he has progressed to around 10 seconds and then to under 10 seconds.

In this game, he didn't have much pressure in his heart in the face of Su Zu, he could let go of the run and gradually run out of the game state.

“On your marks！”

The starter on the sidelines began to remind all players to be in position.

Aziz Zachary in the first, Michael Flatter in the second, Shaun Crawford in the third, Suzu in the fourth, Asafa Powell in the fifth, Orusoki Fasuba in the sixth, Mark Burns in the seventh, Kim Collins in the eighth, all eight runners walked on the starting grid at the same time.

The audience gradually fell silent.

Su Zu squatted on the starting gear, took two deep breaths, felt the warm atmosphere of the arena and the emotions that gradually surged in his heart, and slowly adjusted the position of his feet on the starting gear.

Leaning over and bowing his head, at this moment Su Zu seemed to hear the same heavy breathing from his side, and Shaun Crawford on his left and Asafa Powell on his right hand were just as nervous during this game.

On the field, you can't be too nervous, too nervous will lead to an unbalanced mentality, and you will not be able to play your due strength at all.

In the same way, you can't be too relaxed, because if you are too relaxed, you won't be able to focus.

It's the men's 100m race!

“SET！”

After several referees on the scene confirmed that there was no problem with the starting posture of the runners, the starter shouted the prepared password.

Boom, a uniform starting action!

All eyes of the entire Bicester Stadium are focused on this at this moment!

Among the seven dark-skinned athletes, an athlete with a very different skin tone became extremely outstanding at this moment.

That is the current world record holder of the 100-meter record, breaking countless scientific myths, racial barriers, sprinters from the Far East -

Sue!

Everyone held their breath and barely blinked their eyes!

At the starting line, Su Zu's eyes stayed on the plastic track pressed by his fingers, and all his attention at this time was focused on his ears.

Waiting for the moment when the gun goes off!

One second, two seconds......

For athletes, this moment seems to be stretched, every part of the body is ready to start, and all the touches of the body become sharp!

Syllable!

The electronic starting gun sounds!

The pure metal starting gear on the field withstood the huge force of the athlete's sudden start in an instant, and there was even the creaking sound of metal gears rubbing against each other.

Run!

Get off to a faster start!

At the moment when the gun rang out, Su Zu only felt that his body suddenly seemed to pause.

Not a starting block, not spikes, not an objective reason.

It was when he was listening intently to the sound of the starting gun, and the moment the gun went off, his body seemed to be fundamentally focused on his reaction.

It's a subtle, even subtle, subtle feeling!

In the warm-up run, Su Zu did not have this experience in daily training, but when he was on the field, he had a clear feeling at this moment!

Accelerate from the start, swing your arms hard, and step on the starting block with your legs as if they were springed.

Just a few steps away, Su Zu found that he was indeed slow!

His physical reaction was a little hesitant at the start compared to his time at the Doha Super Grand Prix, and compared to many of his previous races.

In the two weeks since breaking the world record, he hasn't been fully prepared for the fight. Despite his restraint, business activities still affected him to some extent.

He wasn't focused enough!

It's not a distraction or a distraction, it's just a hesitation and untimely after the gunshot!

In the 100-meter event, if the concentration is not enough, the reaction is the most direct at the moment of starting!

Thirty meters, when all the athletes gradually changed from leaning over to accelerating to straightening up, Su Zu had already found his place!

To his left and right, Sean Crawford is one position faster than him, and Asafa Powell is two positions faster than him.

Although he didn't know the exact starting reaction time, Su Zu knew that his starting reaction would not be too good at this moment! Maybe the reaction time is more than 0.170 seconds, or even more than 0.180 seconds.

For Su Zu, who has now controlled the starting reaction to within 0.150 seconds, this start was quite a failure.

From the naked eye, no one can see the difference between Su Zu's reaction time and other athletes, and what can be seen is that at the stage of 30 meters, Su Zu fell behind Powell.

And Asafa Powell's running movements have always been advertised as textbook running methods by athletes from all over the world, from starting to accelerating, they are the most impeccable among the current sprinters.

At this moment, Su Zu even felt a trace of panic in his heart.

Are you going to lose?!

Men's 100-meter sprint, one step slow, one step slow.

In a game where the level is extremely close, it can be just a hundred minutes and a second difference that can make the difference between winning and losing.

After breaking the world record, even if Su Zu kept imposing mental hints on himself, trying to keep a low profile and reducing going out, it still inevitably had a little impact!!

Looking forward to his own pride, he even felt that if he continued like this, he could compete with the Jamaican Lightning.

And now, he is feeling the consequences of his mental laxity for two or three weeks!

There seemed to be a lot of thoughts in his mind that suddenly appeared, but the natural reaction of his body after thousands of times of tempering did not give him this time at all.

The legs are still moving rapidly, forty meters, fifty meters......

Su Zu's eyes swept to both sides, and he suddenly found that the gap between him and Powell and Crawford had not been widened, and the athletes in other lanes had not surpassed him, and they were all distanced by him.

Like a haze like lightning splitting his heart, Su Zu looked at the runway in front of him and bit his lip violently.

He's the world record holder, even if he's a little careless, but he's competitive enough in this arena!

There is only a difference of one or two positions, and it is far from the rhythm that makes him be taken away.

Norway's NRK TV broadcast the live commentary of the Golden League also exclaimed, "Sue's start was slow, Powell took the advantage......"

Li Zhizhong on the sidelines saw at a glance that Su Zu had a problem with the start, according to the past situation, although Su Zu was behind in the first 30 meters, it was rare for this kind of thing to be pulled away by a few positions.

Then, in the amazed gaze of everyone, Su Zu suddenly began to accelerate from the middle position!

60 meters, 70 meters......

At this point, Powell took the lead, he was half a meter ahead of Suzu, while others such as Shaun Crawford, Michael Flat, and Olusoki Fasuba had all been overtaken by Suzu.

In particular, Olusoki Fasuba, the Nigerian newcomer who ran 9.85 seconds in Doha last month, did not perform well in this race.

Su Zu understands that this is the status quo of most athletes, unless they reach the absolute top strength, otherwise an occasional outburst is basically not able to stabilize their personal best results.

Now, the last 30 meters are almost a race between Suzu and Asafa Powell!

At a distance of 70 meters, the speed of the two fastest runners in the world is vividly displayed!

Powell's speed is fast, and every step has a charm full of absolute speed and power, fast, swift, powerful bursts.

But in Su Zu's eyes, it is not fast enough, although I don't know what the reason is, but this is not Powell's peak speed, and his state is not the best!

This is also normal, Powell is recovering his condition, and most athletes can't keep themselves at their peak all the time, even if it's Su Zu's attribute data, he can't maintain his peak state all the time, let alone other athletes.

The huge cheers almost shattered the buildings in the stadium, mixed with the exclamations of Norwegian and English, like rolling thunder, reverberated back and forth over the stadium.

Eighty meters, ninety meters......

Su Zu bit his lip tightly, and he felt that the distance between him and Powell was shrinking.

If there is a post-race analysis, it will be found that Powell's speed in the first 60 meters is 0.05-0.1 seconds faster than Suzu, and from 60 meters onwards, Suzu's speed catches up.

In the second half of the race, he used speed endurance to stabilize his absolute speed, which was the result of Suzu's training in the sub-plateau.

In the 70-90-meter stage, Su Zu's speed was much smaller than Powell's weakness, and Powell's absolute speed in this race did not reach the extreme of his personal peak!

Ninety meters ...... Powell is half a position ahead of Suzu!

The scene is boiling!

On the sidelines of the field, whether it was Powell's team, or Li Zhizhong, Zhang Pingqiu and others, almost everyone's eyes were extremely huge!

"Lore!"

The live commentary of NRK TV in Norway almost squirted a word from his throat frantically, and even his whole body almost jumped up from the commentary table, pulling the microphone cable hanging from his mouth.

"Unbelievable, Sue, Sue killed Asafa Powell in the final ten meters!!"

"Amazing performance, amazing play, so exciting, super speed duel! Powell was ahead of the front ninety meters, but in the last ten meters, he was killed by Su Chaochao! ”

Before the finish line, Su Zu only felt an indescribable burst of ecstasy at the moment when he crossed the finish line!

Win!

Won at the last minute!

Crossed the finish line before Powell!

Su Zu almost didn't bother to look at the results on the timing board on the edge of the field, and began to run wildly in the arena!

It's like a footballer who scores two goals, a big three, and a big four.

The clothes on his body were directly ripped off and shook on the field!

Ecstasy, there is nothing better than being in the mood at the moment!

Su Zu even felt that the surging emotions in his heart at this moment exceeded last year's World Championships!

This is a reversal against the trend, without full preparation and a slow start, he won!

He was in the last ten meters, not strictly speaking, in the last five meters, and he only surpassed Powell at 95 meters and won this championship!

On the sidelines of the arena, Li Zhizhong's face changed from a tense state to a smile in an instant!

Zhang Pingqiu watched Su Zu take off his shirt and run wildly on the field, he only felt a heat in his heart, and he also wanted to follow Su Zu's steps and run wildly and cheer!

It's so thrilling!

The moment Su Zu fell behind in front of him, Li Zhizhong and Zhang Pingqiu both felt that this race could be lost, and it was Asafa Powell, the former men's 100m record holder, whose personal best was less than 0.02 seconds slower than Su Zu.

Being ahead of him and wanting to catch up and come back is a difficult thing to do.

And Su Zu, did it!

Of course, Li Zhizhong's eyes were very sharp, and he could see that although Powell had run well, it was far from reaching the level of his absolute speed.

Otherwise, Su Zu would have no chance to catch up with the point where he slowed down at the moment of starting.

Sure enough, on the big screen at the scene, the answer was revealed after the results of the men's 100 meters at the IAAF Oslo station came out.

1. The fourth lane, Su Zu, reacted 0.182 seconds, and scored 9.95 seconds;

2. Fifth lane, Asafa Powell, reaction 0.153 seconds, 9.98 seconds;

3. Third lane, Sean Crawford, reaction 0.161 seconds, time 10.09 seconds;

4. Second Path, Michael Flat......

……

Before the finish line, Powell looked at the results on the big screen, his chest and abdomen rose and fell, he exhaled a few turbid breaths, and some unwilling colors flashed on his face.

After Su Zu began to run around the field and failed to catch up, many reporters rushed to Powell and began to interview him!

"Asafa, how do you feel about this performance?"

"Mr. Powell, can you tell us how you feel at this time?"

"Sue overtook you in the final stages, do you think you can still break Sue's world record?"

A series of crackling questions shot out of the mouths of various media people, Asafa Bauer-Weil has always had a good temper, and he is not a short-tempered person among track and field athletes, but at this time there is also a burst of fire.

And media reporters don't care about you, what they love is this moment, and if you want to go crazy, it will make them even more satisfied.

Powell stood in front of the microphone, took a light breath, and then replied slowly: "My match with Su has just begun, my goal of breaking his world record will not change, there are still many games ahead, we have enough time to compete, the next one, the winner will be me!" ”

And when Su Zu came back from the circle, a media reporter relayed Powell's words to Su Zu, Su Zu suddenly laughed, and shouted in the air: "I am very much looking forward to competing with Powell, I also think that 9.75 seconds is not the limit, our competition should be more intense, maybe I will set a new world record?" ”
